Any division into "best" and "worst" is subjective. For the objectivity of compiling a list of the worst anime in history, viewership is the main criterion. In addition, the following are taken into account: the quality of the animation and the script, the degree of disclosure of the characters of the characters, the harmony of the music.
Akira 1987
- Genre: Science Fiction, Action, Thriller
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 7.8, IMDb - 8.0
The action takes place in New Tokyo, three decades after the end of World War III. A pro-fascist regime is in power. A religious cult of the superman Akira was established in the country. The presence of this anime in the worst selection is due to the poor implementation of a generally good idea. The character of the characters is not revealed, the narrative is very chaotic, there is no sense of a single whole.
I am a boy magician (Maho shojo ore) TV series, 2018
- Genre: Fantasy, Comedy
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 1.1, IMDb - 5.9

For this, she signs a contract according to which she must become a sorceress, and as a result turns into a strong guy in a woman's dress. It would seem - wait for trash, but in fact the plot is marking time, the humor is very monotonous. It turned out to be an uninteresting and monotonous anime.
Lords of Thorns (Ibara no O) 2009
- Genre: Fantasy, Adventure
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 6.7, IMDb - 6.4
Earthlings are destroyed by the terrible jellyfish virus, which gradually turns a person into stone. In the hope of being saved, 160 people fall into cryo-sleep. These people wake up after an indefinite time in an unrecognizable world full of thorns and lizard-like monsters. This anime has an interesting idea, good music, enough action. But at the same time, there is not enough depth, relief. After looking, you never come to an understanding of what the authors wanted to say.
Tekken 1998

As a child, Jun Kazama saw her friend, Kazuya Heihachi, being thrown off a cliff by his own father. Subsequently, becoming an investigator, June investigates the case for Kazuya's father manufacturing weapons. On the island of Heihachi, battles with huge cash prizes are taking place. There, the girl meets Kazuya himself, who miraculously survived. Disadvantages of anime: a lot of "empty" dialogues, few cool battles, weak musical accompaniment.
Darling in the FranXX TV series, 2018
- Genre: romance, action, fantasy
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 7.1, IMDb - 7.3
A very popular, but at the same time very mediocre series. In the distant future, at a special facility, teenagers undergo combat training to destroy the "kyoryu" (roaring dragons). To destroy dragons you need a couple: a guy and a girl. In fact, the plot boils down to a story about teenage love, but it is shown in an ugly, stupid and vulgar way. There are many cliches in the series that copy the classic mecha action.
The Most Dangerous Geist (M.D. Geist) 1986
- Genre: sci-fi, action
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 5.7, IMDb - 5.4
In order to help people in the war with Nekrus (an army of artificial people), uber soldiers are created, one of which is Geist. Subsequently, the government realized the danger to itself of such soldiers, froze the project and imprisoned them in a special prison. Geist escaped from the cryo prison and returned to continue his battle with Nekrus. This anime is distinguished by a rather primitive plot and not very high-quality animation: faded tones, poor detail.
Fish (Gyo) 2012
- Genre: horror, fantasy
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 6.1, IMDb - 5.5
Girl Kaori and her friends went to Okinawa to celebrate her graduation from university. At the beach house, the company was attacked by a walking fish infected with a virus. At first, the girls could not even imagine what events this strange meeting would entail. Anime in general makes a very nasty impression. In addition, the drawing is not very high quality, the characters of the characters (especially the secondary ones) are poorly revealed.
Adept of the Holy Sign (Seikon no Qwaser) TV series, 2009 - 2011
- Genre: Adventure, Fantasy
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 5.8, IMDb - 5.6
In the Japanese gymnasium of St. Mikhailov, a struggle unfolds between the faithful and the heretics. On each of the opposing sides there are alchemists - "quizers". To maintain strength, magicians need Soma - a drink very similar to breast milk, which miraculously appears in schoolgirls. In the series, there is an obvious overabundance of the etty genre, a lot of vulgarity, and a lot of oddities in the plot.
Destructive Mars (Hametsu no Marusu) 2005
- Genre: sci-fi, action
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 1.1, IMDb - 1.4
The action takes place in 2016. The vicinity of Tokyo is experiencing an invasion of monsters from Mars, called the "Ancients". The government sent a group of underage girls headed by a guy to fight the warlike creatures. It should be noted inexpressive animation, boring formulaic characters. In a number of episodes, classical music is used quite out of place.
Skelter + Sky (Tenkuu Danzato Skelter Heaven) 2004
- Genre: sci-fi, action
- Rating: Kinopoisk - 1.1, IMDb - 1.1
A mysterious creature was discovered in the middle of Tokyo. Special Forces, led by Otsuya Funagaya, are sent to fight the danger. But one of the pilots, a young woman, Rin Ichikawa, puts the mission at risk. This anime is included in the top 10 worst because of an uninteresting and boring plot, primitive graphics, poor voice acting. It rounds out the list of the worst anime ever.
